I took the munchkins out to a local historical house today and I brought my camera along.  I was kind of half way hoping that I might get a decent picture for the Christmas card, but, well…  you judge for yourself.  :-)

First off, we have Princess Emma

And then we go to Supermodel Emma

I would really like to know what was happening right behind me right about at this point

The tapping on the shoulder trick is always fun…

This one isn’t bad, except for the fact that Gregory really looks disheveled (I really do need to give him a haircut!)

And how about a round of applause for Mom!

Well, yes, I think you get the idea.  OK, I need to go clean the kitchen now.  My timer went off about three minutes ago and now that the sink is fixed I have no more excuses.  I love the fact that I can tell my husband - “um, the sink isn’t draining and it is making funny gurgling sounds” and he’ll just look at it then turn towards the door, saying, “ok, I’ll go get some tools”.  And even better - he’ll actually fix it!  Lets hear it for competent, capable men.  :-)

Matt just came in and showed me the Christmas present he just finished making for Emma. It turned out really well and she’s going to love it. :-) Ok, dishes! Really, this time!
